Gonzalez went 0-for-2 in his return to the lineup Monday and felt fine afterward, the Rockies' official site reports. "Feel great. Hit a ground ball, ran hard down the line, no problem. Caught a couple fly balls in the outfield. It was good," Gonzalez said.

Manager Walt Weiss now appears inclined to carry three catchers to open the season, putting McKenry on sturdy ground to win a 25-man roster berth, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
